Local experts in “integrated design”, in the
Triangle J High Performance Guidelines and
LEED, and in each of the four design areas
added their expertise to the charrette. In
addition, representatives from Burt Hill Kosar
Rittelmann Associates and from the University
presented project information. ECU staff
shared their creative thoughts and ideas on the
new building while numerous other
participants were asked to join in the
brainstorming and to become “champions” of
the charrette results. Participants formed three
small work groups to address topics relevant to the College Hill Phase I Dormitory building.
Each group looked at all high performance issues of the project and set priorities that they felt
this project should address. At the conclusion of the day, all work groups presented the results of
their discussions and then collaborated to determine a handful of Priority Action Items. The
Priority Action Items determined by the Charrette participants are listed below.
Overall, the charrette proved to be fun and invigorating, and was filled with thoughtful insights
for a realistic and strategic approach to incorporating high performance strategies into the
renovation project. It laid good groundwork to expect that the design and construction of College
Hill Phase I will raise the “high performance bar” at East Carolina University.

CHARRETTE GOALS and PROCESS
Charrette Goals:
Charrette Process:
1. SET PRIORITIES:
• What 5 to 10 items do your group want
to “champion”?
• If you could only accomplish one item,
what would it be?
• How will you make each of them
happen?
2. BE SPECIFIC:
• Identify the “champions”, “partners”
and “leaders” for each of these priority
items
• What are the cost issues: $, $$, or $$$? (Little additional cost to high additional costs)
• What time issues are involved? (Additional research, O&M training, availability, etc.)
• What can be learned from others? (Case studies / mentors, what worked… what
The pages that follow present the discussion results of the three work groups; under topic
headings are both high performance strategies and, in boxed format, specific priority actions.
